Xie Yuxiu suppressed the emotions surging in his heart.

"I just want to ask why you like Xie Zhao." And you like him so much that you can't help yourself...

"Because... because he saved me. Isn't it normal to repay someone's life-saving grace with one's own body? And he was really good to me at that time, very good." Yu Jinzhi's words all sounded like a joke, but this reason was not a joke.

If it weren't for Xie Zhao saving her, she might not have agreed so easily. She couldn't even tell what kind of emotion she felt towards Xie Zhao.

Is that all? But... I saved you, and you said you would marry me, so why did you choose Xie Zhao? Was it because of his identity, or because I didn't show it clearly enough?

"Do you know why I care so much about this life-saving favor?" Yu Jinzhi asked incoherently but still asked.

Xie Yuxiu didn't really want to know, but since she had already asked, he also asked: "Why do you care so much?"

"Because...he was like a great hero at that time~"

"Those guys were so abominable. They beat me up. It hurt so much. But at that moment, he suddenly appeared and beat all the bad guys away."

"I felt so bad at the time, and I couldn't recognize anyone. My head was so dizzy. They kidnapped me just to threaten Daddy. I didn't want Daddy to be threatened by them, so when he showed up, I was really happy."

"The only thing in my mind at the time was that I should repay him for saving my life with my body. Then I didn't know how I said it out loud. I said I would marry him when I grow up." Yu Jinzhi told him everything that happened that day in a daze.

But when Xie Yuxiu heard these words, she felt more and more familiar. Why did she always feel that this scene was familiar? Wasn't it the same when she saved her?

An idea suddenly popped up in Xie Yuxiu's mind. He looked at Yu Jinzhi carefully and asked tentatively: "Does the princess still remember what he looked like at that time?"

Yu Jinzhi thought about it carefully, then shook her head: "I don't know. Of course he was wearing a face towel. At first I didn't know who he was. Later I accidentally pulled off the token hanging on her body and realized it was his."

Token... He had sneaked into the East Palace to steal Xie Zhao's badge that day, but when he returned, he found it was gone. Could it be that she had taken it and mistook him for Xie Zhao?

When Xie Yuxiu thought of this, he was stunned. He looked at Yu Jinzhi in disbelief, and suddenly became nervous...

"The princess said that the time Xie Zhao saved you was the time when you were kidnapped in the palace?" Xie Yuxiu asked.

Yu Jinzhi nodded: "Yes~"

If that is true...

Xie Yuxiu was surprised and delighted. She really thought it was ridiculous back then. So all these years, it was just because she recognized the wrong person that caused such a misunderstanding?

He held Yu Jinzhi in his arms, very tightly...

She liked Xie Zhao because of the so-called life-saving grace, but now she found out that what happened was just a misunderstanding. Does that mean it doesn't count?

If she knew that it was me who saved her, would she have different feelings towards myself?

Xie Yuxiu was looking forward to it, but at the same time he felt nervous, and even hesitated whether to tell Yu Jinzhi directly about this matter.

Yu Jinzhi probably didn't know what she said. She was drunk and had slowly fallen asleep in Xie Yuxiu's arms.

Xie Yuxiu looked down at the drunk Yu Jinzhi and couldn't help but reach out and touch her face.

"I should have asked earlier." He said softly.

If he had asked earlier, perhaps the misunderstanding could have been resolved earlier and things between them might not have gotten to that point.

only……

"If I tell you, will you be willing to accept me?" Xie Yuxiu was not sure.

If it was back then, maybe after this misunderstanding was resolved, there would still be a possibility between the two of them. But now, there are too many things between them...

She resisted herself, hated being approached, hated being controlled. She had gone through so much trouble to get out of the palace, how could she be willing to go back to that cage?

Xie Yuxiu carried Yu Jinzhi to the bed, where she was sleeping soundly. But Xie Yuxiu was worried that the girl had drunk so much tonight and might have a headache again tomorrow.

When Qingyu came in from outside, she happened to see Xie Yuxiu sitting at the head of Yu Jinzhi's bed, and the two of them were so intimate.

She got angry for a moment and rushed over: "What are you doing? Get out of here!" She hadn't followed in for a while, so how could she take advantage of the princess?

If anything goes wrong, she will be blamed even if she dies.

Qingyu was just about to take action, but Xie Yuxiu simply took off the mask on his face.

Qingyu froze in place for a moment. She almost thought she had drunk too much and had eye problems.

This……

"Your Majesty..." Qingyu widened his eyes in disbelief.

How come your majesty is here, wearing such clothes?

"Go out, she is asleep. I'm here. She drank too much tonight, go and make a bowl of sobering soup. Also, don't reveal my identity." Xie Yuxiu instructed.

How could Qingyu dare not listen? Although she was Yu Jinzhi's maid, but... this was Xie Yuxiu, she didn't have enough life to disobey the order.

But the most important thing is that as a bystander, she sees the relationship between Xie Yuxiu and Yu Jinzhi clearly, so she is willing to cooperate.

She felt that His Majesty was sincere to the princess now, otherwise why would he dress up as a shadow guard and accompany the princess?

After Qingyu left, Xie Yuxiu put on his mask again. He didn't dare to let Yu Jinzhi know his identity, because this was the only identity that allowed him to stay by her side and witness her truest side.

"What should I do with you?" Xie Yuxiu also sighed.

I thought he would feel relieved after knowing the truth, but I didn't expect that he would be entangled again.

Xie Yuxiu just kept guarding Yu Jinzhi, because he couldn't bear to take his eyes off her. There weren't many opportunities like this, and if he missed it, he might never have it again.

"This is the first time I'm with you to celebrate the New Year." Xie Yuxiu whispered in his ear.

It’s a pity that Yu Jinzhi didn’t hear these words after falling asleep, so she didn’t respond at all.
